MIDNITE is my shit - VI Roots Reggae ranks top


Virgin Islands has a strong roots and culture Reggae movement like none other.
The artists are different from Jamaican artists, not to say in any way better, as all
of my favorite singers come from JA, until now. My fam Child from Project Groundation
has been consistently working with VI artists on his albums lately and they always
come with some real talk and very intelligent analysis. Also the music and flow takes
me back to the Reggae my parents listened to growing up but also very current and
forward. Check for dem:

Midnite
Niyorah
Bambu Station
Pressure
Apostle
Abja

DUB STEP music is my favorite of any Mashup yet


This section is all about what Tunes are playing played out in my truck as I sit in LA traffic. This week it's been a big
Dubstep week in the whip. I'm waiting to get the new Project Groundation mixtape with Pressure. I'm doing the new
PGM clothing line this week too. So big tings a gwan!





So Dubstep is the latest mashup music form from the UK. It's basically Dub music, classic reggae progressions and
riddims but with spaced out echoes and tweaking. It takes some of the sound library of Grime and Drum and Bass music
and adds that to Dub, which makes for crazy bass and glitchy sounds on top of classic riddims. The DJ's I like the most
are the more Roots Reggae influenced ones like Mrk1 and Juju, who use dub plates of Roots singers like Sizzla over
the ill beats. I'll put up some links and more about Dubstep. People in LA, my boys (SMOG) & (TempleofBoom) throw
secret weekly dubstep parties and bigger monthly parties, I'll link the info soon. In NYC check DUBWAR
